Colorado is the Centennial State, and there are about 100 reasons why you should consider making the move to Colorado. For the sake of simplicity, we’re going to narrow the reasons down to 11, and hopefully, by the time you’ve finished reading this article you’ll agree: Colorado is a great place to call home.

Catch and release, of course. Fly fishing is a ton of fun.

9. The colorful skies

This summer, #findyourpark in #estespark, the basecamp for #rockymountainnationalpark. Colorado has some of the clearest, most breathtaking night skies! @visitestespark @usinterior

You’ve never seen skies until you’ve seen mountain skies – it’s hard to imagine a better sunrise or sunset than one set against the Rockies. Here’s another example:

It’s addicting. You’ll sleep like a baby.

6. The hiking

** Insta-Takeover continues with CMC member @marisajarae** We’re lucky to have these hills – these rocks full of challenges and lessons – right in our back yard. The very essence of paradise, I think. The CMC leads trips near and far, check out where they’re headed next. Link in bio.

It’s one of the only states where a traffic jam can make for a great photo opportunity.
